Good times to book an inspection
After large hail
Stones of 1.75 inches or more can crack shingles without causing a leak right away.
Before you buy or sell
A roof report helps both sides price the home fairly and avoid surprises after closing.
On an older roof
Once a roof has seen many Texas summers, a yearly check catches small problems before they turn into leaks.
Before solar goes on
Panels should sit on a roof with years of life left. See solar panel installation in Round Rock.
When a stain appears
A ceiling spot is a clue. The inspection traces it back to the source.
Why inspections matter more in Round Rock
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center reported large hail, 1.75 inches or more, within 10 miles of Round Rock in each of the 6 years from 2019 through 2024. In total, 36 of the 92 hail reports logged from 2015 through 2024 hit that size. A roof here may have been struck more than once without anyone checking it.
Half of the homes in Round Rock were built before 2002 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). Older shingles are more brittle, so storm hits leave deeper marks. An inspection separates normal wear from storm damage, which matters if you talk to your insurer later.
Buying or selling a home in Round Rock
A roof is one of the most expensive parts of a house, and it is easy to miss from the street. For a buyer, a roofing inspection shows whether the roof has years left or needs work soon, which can shape the offer. For a seller, a report done before listing removes a common surprise during the option period and lets you fix small items on your own terms.
With 56% of homes in Round Rock owner-occupied, according to the same census survey, many roofs change hands with the house. A clear photo record also helps the next owner know what was done and when. If a storm hit since the last check, ask the inspector to separate fresh hail marks from normal wear.
What we check

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof inspection take?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof and whether we can reach the attic. A typical home takes part of a morning or afternoon. We walk the roof when it is safe, check the attic and gutters, and go over the photos with you before we leave or soon after.
Is a roof inspection the same as a home inspection?
No. A general home inspector often looks at the roof from the ground or a ladder. A roofing inspection walks each slope, checks flashing and penetrations closely and gives a roofer's opinion on repair or replacement. Many buyers in Round Rock get both.
Can I use the inspection for an insurance claim?
You can share it with your insurer. The photos and notes show what we found and where. Whether the damage is covered depends on your policy and your insurance company, and the adjuster makes that call. Our roof insurance claims page explains the usual steps.
